Hi Peter and Gang,
Peter indicated that he needed some warm weather and sun shine from
the East Coast. It's been cool on the East Coast for the past few
days, but this past spring has really been nice. With all the El Nino
rain and warmer then normal winter, it looks like it will be a great
year for growing CPs.
My plants are doing just great, especially the VFTs. They seem to
always be eating something. I wish I could slow this down a bit so I
could enjoy their open traps a little longer. I recently took some
photo's of a couple of VFTs. One green form measuring 12 inches
across(30 cm) and a red form measuring 10 inches(25 cm) across from
trap to trap. I'm hoping for a 13 inch VFT by the middle of July. Only
time will tell. I tried to post these pictures, but quickly found out
that cp@opus.hpl was not set up to handle jpg files. If anyone is
interested seeing a 12 inch VFT, send me a personal message and I will
send pictures back.
There's a bad side to all this nice wet weather, it's call fungus.
I've seen more fungus this year then the previous year. I guess you
can't have it all.
Happy growing from the East Coast of the US
Charles
